The history of the controlled reproductive capacities of Black and afro descended women is the foundation on which this country is built. The legacies of terror, oppression, and gendered dehumanization still impact the ancestors of those who survived the vast grief of enslavement. Today only 64.3% of black woman breast feed, in comparison to 81.9% of Latino and 81.5% of White parents. “The echoes of slave women being forced to give up their milk still resounded. And black women didn’t talk to their sisters, daughters and granddaughters about how to feed their babies; the bottle was just assumed. And for some women, breast-feeding was a ‘white thing.’” That trauma still exist today. “Ma’Dear” 60X48X1.5 “Strange Fruit” series. #achfireandsoul #artinharlem #artcrawlharlem (at New York, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CH-dU3RlAes/?igshid=rxxwltwwbp18
